Chapter 1596
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Stella bid farewell to Marshall and reminded him to escort Kayla home.
âSure thing,â Marshall replied.
Stella waved and quickly stepped into the car. Aldor nodded at Marshall and got in as well.
As the car drove away, Marshall stood in place, watching it gradually fade from view.
Inside the car, Stella leaned against the window and looked outside. After a while, she began to sigh deeply.
âWhatâs wrong? Regretting that I interrupted your dinner with Mr. Moore? Feeling disappointed that you had to leave?â Keegan teased.
Stella would usually have a comeback. But after noticing Marshallâs feelings for her, she could not muster a spirited response.
âKeegan, can I ask you a question?â Her tone was serious.
Keegan looked slightly surprised. He raised his chin, unscrewed his water bottle, and said, âSure.â He then took a sip of water, ready to attend to Stellaâs inquiry.
âAm I the type of woman men fall for at first sight?â
Keegan choked on his water when he heard that.
Stella handed him a tissue, slightly annoyed, âWhatâs with that reaction?â
Keegan wiped the water from his lips, looked her up and down, and said, âWell, sure, if theyâre unfamiliar with you.â
He was implying that many people are visual creatures, regardless of their gender. Individuals who look good are bound to catch peopleâs attention.
Stella took it as a compliment and pressed on, âWhat about after getting to know me?â
Keeganâs voice was soft, âIf they still like you after getting to know you, theyâre either blinded by lust, or they have a unique taste.â
Stellaâs eyelid twitched. She pretended to be angry and glared at him, âWhat do you mean they have a unique taste? Explain yourself!â
âFor starters, you love to bluff and boast about yourself. You enjoy teasing people for no reason. You never admit that youâre wrong. Plus, youâre good at playing the victim. If someone still likes you after knowing all this, wouldnât you say they have a unique taste?â Keegan said.
Stella ground her teeth, âAnd what about you? You have a sharp tongue. A single word from you could kill a person! l-lf it wasnât for the fact that youâre charming, Iâd want nothing to do with you!â
Keegan chuckled softly. He leaned closer and whispered,â See, you get irritated at the slightest thing.
Who else can put up with you apart from me? Iâm just taking one for the team and saving the world from your mischief.â
Stella snorted, âDonât flatter yourself. There are plenty of people who appreciate me.â
âOh? And who might those be? Your ex-boyfriend you dated for two weeks? Or Marshall?â
Stella was taken aback, âSo you know that Mr. Mooreâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, she immediately stopped herself.
Keegan noticed that she was acting unusual and said, âMr. Moore⦠what?â
Stella hesitated to speak. She felt that the subject was awkward, but she would feel guilty if she did not tell Keegan. After contemplating, she whispered, âI think Mr. Moore might have a little crush on me.â
